Annotation Type OnVSFieldStatic


  • @Documented
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @Target(METHOD)
    @Repeatable(OnVSFieldsStatic.class)
    public @interface OnVSFieldStatic
    Annotation for tagging methods to receive VirtualSpace Field events, i.e. for Virtual Field Processors.

    Only 1 acceptable method pattern for this annotation.
    Note: methodName can be any name you want to use.

    Example:

       @VirtualSpace(ref="Proj:/vs/subFolder/OneVS")
       public class MyVSListener
         {
         public MyVSListener()
           {
           ...
           }
    
         // Method called to validate the "FieldName" field.
         @OnVSFieldValidateStatic(ref="Proj:/vs/path", descr="Validates a Field Name", ops={VSFieldEvent.Op.VALIDATE})
         public static void onMyStaticValidate(VSFieldEvent event) throws ValueConversionException
           {
           ...
           }
    
         // Method called to convert the all possible fields ("*") values to other formats.
         @OnVSFieldStatic(ref="*", descr="Converts a Field Value", ops={Op.CONVERT_TO_NATIVE}, source={String.class}, target={Boolean.class})
         public static void onMyStaticConvert(VSFieldEvent event) throws ValueConversionException
           {
           ...
           }
         }

    • Element Detail

      • ref

        java.lang.String ref
        The Full String Reference to the Property. This reference may be set to "*" to define all potential references, and thus not specifying a back-reference at all.
        Returns:
        The Full String Reference to the Property (includes the Module Project and slashes), or "*".

        java.lang.String descr
        The description of the validator routine, used in the Eclipse UI.
        Returns:
        A descriptive string of the validator.
      • ops

        VSFieldEvent.Op[] ops
        The list of supported event operations in this instance. Only the event for the supported operations are fired to the annotation implementing method.
        Returns:
        The list of supported events, e.g. VALIDATE and/or CONVERT.
      • source

        java.lang.Class<?>[] source
        The list of supported Value conversion classes that are handled as source conversion from a value, used in the CONVERT_* operations.
        Returns:
        One or more supported native conversion classes from:
        • String.class,
        • java.math.BigDecimal.class,
